With One Week To Go, What Are Your Switch 2 Launch-Day Plans?

We’re exactly one week away from the launch of Nintendo’s next console. As you might expect on a site called Nintendo Life, we’re quite excited for that new hardware smell.

With global pre-order shenanigans going on since the 2nd April reveal, everyone’s had plenty of time to budget, make decisions, and plan out exactly how they want to spend Thursday 5th June.

We’re going to be exceptionally busy around these parts, working around the clock to bring you the best coverage as quickly as possible – but we’re interested to hear what you’ve got planned for the Switch 2 launch. If we weren’t obliged to write up impressions, deliver verdicts, and cover the latest Nintendo developments on this here website, what would we have planned?

Well, taking some holiday on the Thursday and Friday and exploring Mario Kart World for four whole days sounds pre-ritty good! And with summer weather coming in the Northern Hemisphere, we’d probably head out for a walk to test Switch 2’s portability and really put the brightness settings of that bigger screen through its paces, too.

That’s us though – what are your plans? What pick-ups are on your lists? Do you have 100% confidence in the postal service or are you concerned about delivery shenanigans? (Hey, we’ve got experience there, unfortunately!) Will you be camped outside to guard against unscrupulous drivers turning into your street before pulling a quick U-y and not actually ringing the bell? HAS ALL THE EXCITEMENT MADE US OVERLY PARANOID?

Let us know below, and tell us in the comments how you’ll be spending your first hours with your new console.
